‘I’m a broken man putting the puzzle back together’: country star Jelly Roll on prison, addiction and redemption | Country

Whenever Jelly Roll returns from touring, he falls into a depressed state. For a long time he couldn’t figure out why. The rapper turned country singer had written it off as an adrenaline dump; his body getting back to normal after long stretches of wild highs. But recently, he made a breakthrough with his therapist.“Tour is about the only time that I’ve ever felt valuable in my life,” he says, speaking over Zoom from his home in Nashville, Tennessee. This big man, who spent years of his youth in prison, “felt like I…

Desperation Road review – Mel Gibson still after redemption in southern crime yarn | Film

Terminally unlucky, flat broke and unhoused, single parent Maben (Wila Fitzgerald) wafts like a tumbleweed into a small Mississippi town with her seven-year-old daughter Annalee (Pyper Braun).

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ probes the limits of redemption

The following contains spoilers for “Under the Cloak of War.” “Some things break in a way that can never be repaired, only managed.” It’s the final line in a powerhouse episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. “Under the Cloak of War” lays out a host of questions about memory, grief and redemption – reiterating the key obsessions of this season – none of which it could possibly answer. For some shows, this would be a bad thing, but Strange New Worlds is becoming increasingly comfortable living with ambiguity. Much as I…

Bawaal review – redemption romcom in spectacularly poor taste | Film

Much of this almost wondrously misjudged Bollywood film is perfectly palatable: the tale of a limited man redeemed by his far superior wife. Varun Dhawan plays Ajay, a history teacher who is fixated on projecting the impression that he is a tough cookie with a perfect life. His pupils are in his thrall, and allow him to doss in lessons rather than teach them; everyone in his city (Lucknow in northern India) seems to have bought into the myth, too. One person who hasn’t, however, is his new wife Nisha (Janhvi Kapoor), whom…

Boy George: ‘Redemption is possible for everyone, even Matt Hancock’ | Life and style

I don’t know what possessed me to do I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! I was glued to the recent South African series, but I kept thinking to myself: bloody hell, it’s a show you watch from the comfort of your own home, not one you actually sign up for. I was rumoured to have been the highest-paid contestant ever, but if I’d known what I’d go through I’d have charged double.Cooking should be a pleasure, not a stress. I’ve turned down appearing on The Great British Bake Off a few times in the past, because I’d go mad.…

Did You Spot the Sneaky ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ Easter Egg in ‘The Flash?’

via Warner Bros This article contains minor spoilers from The Flash. The Flash has a lot of easter eggs; that’s not a controversial statement to make — the film has sold itself in trailers and interviews as a collage of references from things that we all know and love. Most of these references are obvious ones, like Michael Keaton’s Batman or Ben Affleck’s Batman, for that matter, but others are more obscure. Some might even say surprising. The one easter egg that will likely slip under the radar comes early in…
